High Renaissance

The High Renaissance

Centered in Italy, Early 16

The High Renaissance was the culmination of the artistic revolution of the Early Renaissance, and one of the great explosions of creative genius in history. It is notable for three of the greatest artists in history: Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Raphael.

Also active at this time were such masters as Giovanni Bellini, Giorgione and Titian.

By about the 1520 's, High Renaissance art had become exaggerated into the style known as Mannerism.
